Donate

The Tanzanian Educational Foundation is committed to creating hope for a brighter future for young Tanzanians by providing them with the means for a better education.

All donations go to sponsor the students of Meru Peak Day School, a small school in Tengeru Village outside Arusha, Tanzania.  These funds allow us to provide such basic needs as porridge, milk, writing utensils, and books. We are also able to offer scholarships to some of those students so that they may continue their education. The scholarships pay for uniforms, school tuition, and any other assistance they may need. We greatly appreciate your purchase from our foundation and any donations you may contribute. 


Many Thanks from our board of directors,

Nicole Miller, Erica Oblinger, Colin Forbes and Jay Cone

Ways to Donate

Donate Airline Miles

At TEF, we take pride in our close personal relationships with the schools and children that we sponsor.In order for us to keep in such close contact, we must visit the school every 12-18 months. This is also how we know exactly where all of the donations are going and that all of our projects meet TEF's standards. The trip is a big expense for the foundation mainly due to the soaring price of airline tickets. Your generous donation of airline miles can help us provide a better service to the school and the children as well as help us maintain projects and monitor our donations. The Tanzanian Education Foundation is always deeply grateful for any and all donations made to the organization.
